T.I. Hopes He’s Helped, Has Tons Of New Music

Although T.I. helped many youths with his "Road To Redemption" show, there were some that he wasn't able to help, like episode 5's Mario. "Mario, man. … Mario reminded me a lot of me and my homeboys when I was his age … in a lot of grown-man situations," T.I. says.
